Wow. I thought you were kidding about the US Ambassador to the Austria but no! Have fun and try to relax. Remember you’re the guest, I’m sure Ms Wesner will be more nervous. Look forward to hearing about it. Very exciting.

I’m from Louisiana, home of the Turducken, and I’m thrilled to see it cropping up in Vienna! The US has spread so many bad food habits that it’s nice to think of some good ones spreading around too. If your husband ever has time, I ‘d love to have him sketch out how he did it. I’m always intrigued by how recipes are tweaked to suit new circumstances.
A very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Wow! I do not think I have ever met an ambassador. Your having dinner with one is cool. The Turdusken looks great, I would be happy to have one bird with skin so nice and crispy.
BTW I think you can never go wrong with Bois d’Isle :)

Have a wonderful time,Birgit! I hope you went for the perfume that made you feel confident and beautiful.

Since nobody else was curious (or impolite? ;) ) enough to ask, I have to! Why did you decide to celebrate Thanksgiving a week before if the official dinner to which you were invited also wasn’t hapenning on actual Thanksgiving Day?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, too!
That bird looks amazing – great job your husband has accomplished here! I’m impressed big time, the thing looks d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s!
Hope you had a wonderful evening with the Ambassador.
Tell us how it went, please and what fragrance you chose in the end :-)
Have a very HAPPY Thursday xo :-)

Hello happyface,
I chose Chanel Bois des Iles as my perfume last night and it was a great evening! (Although the food was a bit disappointing, maybe that is because I am spoiled by my cook whiz husband! ;) )
Thank you for your kind words!
